Bingo, the benefit does not outweigh the detriment of cold steak, carryover cooking, losing crust, etc.

Actually, the USDA lowered the pork temp to 145 back in 2011.

How long are you letting your steak rest that it gets cold? And carryover cooking is exactly why you pull it early. Usually with steak I'll pull it 10 degrees under what I want the final to be

Which creates the grey area you attempt to avoid with reverse sear and sous vide techniques for less than half an ounce of water.

This is why it suits the thread perfectly. There are scientific experiments and reports that state over and over again that the benefit is negligible, even when compared to the downside of resting.

The myth lives on!

Cook and eat your steak however you want, the evidence is there, to each their own.

Actually cooking chicken breast to 165 ruins it also. I cook mine to 155 and allow for some carry over.

Yeah...call me crazy, but I like that outside crisp from the seer to still be hot for eating my rare/rare plus steak. Especially if it’s a fillet or strip.

The “resting” is the amount of time it takes to plate the side veggie with the steak for my wife and I, plus the amount of time it takes to pour a beer or glass of water. After that, I’m eating.

It doesn't even need to carry over at 155°.

Chicken only needs to be held at 155 for 44 seconds to be fully pasteurized.

Irk baking is all science

You could argue that humidity in New Orleans if a factor

And what’s in the water

All can be replicated though.

Humidity definitely affects baking. But this can easily be tracked/counter balanced if done enough by adding more/less water.

Do you slice your brisket right off the smoker?
Do you pull your pork right off the smoker?

Genuinely asking the question because I am curious.

No I do not, they sit wrapped in butcher paper and towels in a cooler for 1 hour.

This isn't an apples to apples comparison, the same test results state larger cuts of meat should rest.

Oh, la. Humidity in the air is a tiny factor. You easily correct for it in mixing....many breads are proofed in moist conditions (controlled humidity proofing cases, for example). What's in the water doesn't matter. The kind of flour, hydration amounts (ie, how wet the dough is mixed), amount/type of mixing/kneading, dough handling, timing, and baking methodology (steam, no steam, stone hearth vs steel, type of oven) are all incredibly important.

Trace minerals or treatment chemicals in water are not important at all.
